2023 Carroll Shelby 100th Anniversary Edition, honoring 100 years of Mustangs.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Carroll Shelby, the automotive icon who created the Shelby Cobra and built a performance car empire. Shelby American will commemorate the occasion with a limited production run of special edition Mustangs.

Based on the 2023 Ford Mustang GT, the Carroll Shelby Centennial Edition is limited to 100 units and is available in coupe or convertible body styles. It is too late for anyone thinking of ordering one, as they have already sold out.

The changes start under the hood, where the Mustang GT's 5.0-liter V-8 gets a supercharger, boosting output to 750 hp. Shelby offered a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Other performance upgrades include a Borla cat-back exhaust system, adjustable caster and camber plates, and performance spring and sway bars. In addition, all cars will be equipped with the same Brembo front brake calipers as the factory Performance Pack.

Performance parts are wrapped in subtle styling changes, including satin black 20-inch wheels, vinyl stripes, a new "Shelby" branded upper grille, vented hood and front fenders, and Shelby rear spoiler and rocker panels. wrapped around the car. Shelby also gets its own leather interior and commemorative emblems, along with dashboard and engine bay plates.

The Centennial Edition is priced at $49,995 for the 2023 Mustang GT donor car. This is the final model year for the current Mustang and will be shortened for the redesigned 2024 Mustang; the 5.0-liter V-8 engine will survive and produce 500 hp in the new 2024 Mustang Dark Horse.
